Researchers were tagging great whites to study their movements. In the process, they tagged a nine-foot female, who left the area safely. Four months later, her tag was found on a beach near where she was first caught -- and the data tells a very interesting story.
"It showed this profile going down the shelf to 580 meters, then a huge temperature change ... another living animal," said a Smithsonian researcher.
Yes, it appears that the nine-foot great white was eaten. The big question? What ate her? Whatever it was, it had to be big enough to swallow almost 10 feet of apex predator, and quick enough to drag it almost 2,000 feet in a few seconds.
So, what is it? A giant squid? Godzilla? A Megalodon? Well, actually, that last one is not too far off from the real theory....

Yea they call those “Sea Wolves”. Also known as Killer Whales.
Giant squid? That’d be a whale of a tale.

Killer whales do sometimes feed on Great White Sharks, it was recently discovered.

Has anybody seen Rosie O'Donnell lately?
That hog would eat anything...flotsam, jetsam, carpets, etc.
I’d guess it’s being caused by Tea Party/Conservative/GOP induced climate change. We need another four years of Barack Obama to save us. </sarcasm>
"Ow! Owwww, that really hurts." 
It appears Michelle O has been dining out!

We’re gonna need a bigger plate!
This is the third IIRC article I have seen in a couple years on this exact subject. The answer is always Killer Whales.
It is also one of many article rehashings I have noticed. One a few months back was literally a repost of an article as ‘new’ by a larger media outlet. I remembered the pic in it and several other freepers also verified it when we discussed it.
One possibility.
They’re smart, fast, strong, and run in pods. And they fear nothing.
